This can be used as quick fix, but it can broke getNumberId() function

[gg3083]

[navneetnis1]

+1 I am facing same issue.

[guicuton]

If you're on MD you shoudn't use the LegacySessionAuth.

Use LocalAuth or noAuth instead.

[gg3083]

LocalAuth

I used LocalAuth

This here working on WWEBVERSION: 2.2208.7 After update to this branch, remember to delete the .wwebjs_auth before to start your app.

So it starts working after rescan?

[Eonus21]

Because I start to receive new error on message sending https://github.com/pedroslopez/whatsapp-web.js/issues/1317

This can be used as quick fix, but it can broke getNumberId() function

After implementing this I am getting this error (node:9544) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Error: Evaluation failed: TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'queryExists')

[sciapuscio]

Same issue... is not working

[jbmchd]

same issue

[janke184]

Same here using LocalAuth :(

[jonasschen]

Same here. Using multidevice branch

[sidikhanrei]

Try my temporary fix. It will use old queryExists function if client not updated.

Client.js Line 944

async getNumberId(number) {
        if (!number.endsWith('@c.us')) {
            number += '@c.us';
        }
        return await this.pupPage.evaluate(async number => {
            try {

                const result = await window.Store.QueryExist(number);
                if (!result || result.wid === undefined) return null;
                return result.wid;

            } catch(err){

                let result = await window.Store.Wap.queryExist(number);
                if (result.jid === undefined)
                    throw 'The number provided is not a registered whatsapp user';
                return result.jid;
            }
        }, number);
    }

[sciapuscio]

Worked for me... ! =D temporary fix works well. Thanks @sidikhanrei

[sciapuscio]

It connects fine but then it doesn't send the messages. There is no log record.

[sidikhanrei]

use this release version https://www.npmjs.com/package/whatsapp-web.js/v/1.16.4-alpha.0 and replace the Client with temporary fix

[sciapuscio]

Using 1.16.4-alpha.0 I closed and opened the console and again "Evaluation failed: TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'query Exists')" =(... Something bad is happening here.

Another symptom, the session folder is always left empty.

[cristovammartins]

Sessão não estava salvando tbm

[sciapuscio]

sometimes connect. When it does it appears to work but in reality the session folder is empty and the messages don't come out.

CHECKED

[elhumbertoz]

I have the same error.!

[kikemarto]

I have devices with the problem and another devices without it, it's very strange.

[sciapuscio]

@kikemarto Me too... two services on the same OS... one is working I WILL TRY TO NEVER CLOSE IT an the other service is just DEAD

[kikemarto]

The services that works I can restart without problems and works continue.

[sciapuscio]

spooky 🥴🥴

[CValeron]

same issue :(

[dardar1129]

on restarting the service, it sends the message for the first time. and then shows the error.

(node:25012) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Error: Evaluation failed: TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'queryExists')

This is something strange, please fix this asap. There is no stable version too, I am getting errors on 4 previous versions.

We need you @pedroslopez !!!! =(

This issue was happening because WhatsApp Web was sometimes serving up v2.2206.9 and then updating it to v2.2208.7 in some cases. Now that 2.2208.7 seems to be the only version getting served, I released v1.16.4 of the library to address this. Please update and this shouldn't be happening anymore.

Hey Thanks a lot @pedroslopez I updated to v1.16.4 and it seems to work perfectly as of now.

[Eonus21]

[herduin]

I have this problem in v1.16.4 in Non-MD session. Any idea?

[whizydev]

hey guys. it worked for me to delete the '.wwebjs_auth' folder and reconnect generating a new QRCODE.

I am getting the same error, from this day on. Bot has been working for several weeks without any issues. After authenticating with qr via localAuth strategy, this error is thrown. Even with deleting the ".wwebjs_auth" directory in advance.

\node_modules\whatsapp-web.js\node_modules\puppeteer\lib\cjs\puppeteer\common\ExecutionContext.js:221

Tried with whatsapp-web version 1.19.3 and 1.19.1

Is the dependency on puppeteer version 13.0.0 correct?

[jauharitontowi]

i have the same error

[willkuerlich]

Maybe Whatsapp changed the DOM structure of their html page?

[willkuerlich]

@pedroslopez Would you mind to have a look?

In my case it is currently really annoying to run my dev environment, since every app restart means now to have to scan the qr code every time :*(

Update: https://github.com/tofers/whatsapp-web.js/pull/2 Fixes it! 🚀🚀🚀

Update: tofers#2 Fixes it! rocketrocketrocket

Great!

I replace the line 28 of file src/util/Injected.js to: window.Store.QueryExist = window.mR.findModule('queryExist')[0].queryWidExists;

And work to me now, thanks

[borjaom23]
